Robin128 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks and its travel in strategic U.S. waters was only confirmed after it left the region. The stealth underwater incursion in the Gulf took place at the same time Russian strategic bombers made incursions into restricted U.S. airspace near Alaska and California in June and July, and highlights a growing military assertiveness by Moscow. http://freebeacon.com/silent-running/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Not surprising considering their increasing irrelevance on the world stage . I thought most of their navy was gathering rust . Hopefully just reminding us they are still there . Edited August 16, 2012 by vole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin128 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Brazil’s O Estado de Sao Paoli reported Aug. 2 that Russia plans to sell Venezuela up to 11 new submarines, including one Akula. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I know the yanks can be a little 'unreal' but I doubt the sub - if it was ever there, was undetected - probably a double think game. Putin seems to be a poor imitation of Napoleon - (well principally physically) but as an ex KGB /GRU nit wit, can never be underestimated. Worrying thing for me to say but the sooner he's 'deposed' the better for us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpkiller Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 how can you have a story about an undetected sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delbert Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Not really of much relevance with Russian long range cruise missiles having a range of better than 3000km they could equally well have been deployed south of Greenland and still have been a credible threat unless they really wanted to target Disneyland? the story smells of electioneering by anti Obama factions Edited August 15, 2012 by Delbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin128 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 USA has microphones under the sea near their coasts and elsewhere. I guess they were concentrating on other things. It would appear to be happening more often than the yanks care to admit. http://www.allamericanblogger.com/12773/chinese-sub-surprises-u-s-aircraft-carrier-battle-group/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Most of the Gulf of Mexico is classified as International Waters, so anyone can go anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
